From where I am sitting I can read the titles on the backs of my cd collection and here are a few of them.

' The lion in winter' and ' seven samurai' and 'Andrei Rublev ' and 'when worlds collide' And
' Caligula' (the uncut version of Caligula which is hard core porn)

and 'a beautiful mind' and 'flying daggers' and 'dune' and 'all quiet on the western front' and ' troy' and 'Alexandra'

After that it gets into more commercial films like' the matrix trilogy' and 'Xmen' and 'lord of the rings trilogy'

My own collection is too lengthy to list--in fact I don't have a list. Should make one. "The Matrix" however is one of those iconic films I don't have yet but need to add to the group. It is one of those films that you can't describe adequately--it must be seen--but you cannot not watch if you happen to run across it on television somewhere. As with many sequels that rarely match up to the original, Matrix II lacked some of the genius in the original, but it was more fun to watch.

I have quite a lot more films I didn't list, ' for example 'the abominable Dr Phibes' and ' Dr Phibes rises again '
Always good for a laugh.

I'm not much into horror films, even funny ones. There are a very few exceptions though, mostly adapted from Stephen King novels. He had considerable say in the direction of those films and actually appeared either personally or via voice in most, maybe all of them. The three stand outs for me that have achieved iconic status are "Carrie", "The Shining", and "The Green Mile."

Yea ! I have seen 'Carrie', and the remake, and 'the shining' and 'the green mile' rings a bell. Was it about some guys on death row?

Yes, the setting for "The Green Mile" was death row. Very well done, directed, and superbly acted film.

But not, in any way, a horror movie.

Movies based on King books are good when they are NOT his horror. IMO only The Shining was a really good movie based off of one of King's horror novels. On the other hand, The Green Mile, Stand By Me, and especially The Shawshank Redemption are all excellent movies based on his non-horror work.

There have been other King horror adaptations that aren't bad, such as Carrie, and King non-horror adaptations that are not good, such as The Dark Tower. Overall, though, it's been a trend.

I don't even know for certain that I watched Love at First Bite, but if I did I didn't like it enough to be memorable. I do remember Young Frankenstein, though! The brain belonged to a miss Abby Normal.

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid.

My son and daughter-in-law love Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and similar just short of slapstick comedy. But I have never been able to appreciate it like they do.

I do love intelligent comedy that is funny but with character development and an actual plot. Some all time great ones that come immediately to mind: "My Cousin Vinny", "Overboard", "Private Benjamin", "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", "Six Days, Seven Nights", "Down Periscope", and there's lots of others.

But I was the ultimate heretic when I turned my nose up at "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" that Hombre loves. I finally gave in and ordered him a copy for Christmas or something, but he has to watch it by himself.

Does Jim Carrey fall short of slapstick?

I'm with you on O Brother Where Art Thou. A few people have looked askance at me when I've said that I didn't like the movie.

Nope, it was Dan Tyminski.

That's the reason the actors get paid the big bucks... While Mr. Clooney's heritage maybe from Ky., singing is not his area of expertise...
